Restaurants in South Salt Lake

“Great place with great beer! I really appreciate that there is a description of the type of beer next to its name on the board. It's clear that the people who run this place are passionate about what they do. There was live music and a rustic comfortable atmosphere. It has its own parking lot and ample street parking due to a great location. Looking forward to frequenting Chappell Brewing many more times! Oh... And the artwork is impeccable. It's clear they have good taste!”

“I’ve always loved Shades sours. We visited their new location today… AMAZING. The space is beautiful, food and drinks are fantastic. And shoutout to server Rudy!!! He is great. So friendly, had so many suggestions and recommendations, loved him!!”

“Really terrific meal! Highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Recomiendo este restaurante 💯 bueno ,los mariscos son frescos, el lugar es bien cómodo hay música 🎵 tienen una barra para las chelas 🍺muy delicioso todo 🥢”

“My fiancé and I come here at least once a month. The food is amazing and with the chilly season around the corner it’s a perfect cozy meal. The staff is absolutely phenomenal. Everyone is kind and quick with service.

Parking: Depending on what time of day you go parking could be tough.”

“We really like coming here alot . The only complaint is it's a horrible set up! Don't go during peak hours it's miserable. Very little dessert”

“yes yes yes!! come hungry leave stuffed! everything was delicious fresh! vegetarian options! amazing experience our server was incredible too! 10/10!”

“Killer IPAs! Good food and service. Came for trivia night and had a blast.”

“I've had two 20+ people events there and honestly returned for the service. Maddie at the bar just gave us the best experience even though she was working alone and had so many people to accommodate - everybody in our group loved her. It seriously felt like we were with a friend. Maddie we love you 🫶🫶🫶”

“Salt Lake's most unique dining experience by far! If you are looking for an exclusive, chef driven 9 course dinner then Chef Vishal has you covered. Each course is a fresh take on classic, traditional South Indian food specifically from the Goa region. Each course wows your senses with lots of wonderful color, presentation and of course flavors. Highly recommended if you're looking for something new!”

“Delicious drinks! Cold Brew is refreshing and so smooth. My daughter loved the frozen Hermosa . Highly recommend and can’t wait to visit What The Cup again!”

“Les recomiendo los tacos están deliciosos tienen variedad y son muy amables”

“A deep fried cheesy delight!”

“First i want to say, you cook your own food, so the one star review who said they got sick, LEARN TO COOK! This place is the best. My wife and i come here whenever we get the chance. The food, atmosphere, everything, is just great. We get hot pot and bbq each time. our go to dishes are the rib eye soup, and mine is the Tom yum. We get the black pepper pork, and short ribs without fail. Do not listen to the ones who complain about KBBQ because the truth is they dont understand or respect it. Go here, always.”

“I was here yesterday afternoon, the waiters were very kind, especially the guy who served me, he was attentive to whether we needed anything and whenever he asked us if we were okay, he told us he would be at the front in case we wanted anything else (the skinny guy)

The only thing I didn't like very much was the variation in the music. I think they should put more songs in English and not just in Korean, because there were a lot of Americans and not all of us like Korean music.”

“Yes. I do recommend real Cuban food. Picadillo was incredible.”

“Best Tamales and salsa Verde in town!”

“Ditch Panda Express if you are in the area and looking for Chinese food. More selection. The food tastes way better. Sever yourself and make the dish the way you want. Its a way better deal, and the gentleman there was very friendly. And happy to explain.”

“Great food and quality beyond the average fast food.”

“Their food truck came to your school for teacher appreciation, BEST blue bacon burger and onion rings. They are welcome. anytime”

“Happy that we fad time to stop by here and have a lunch. Great food and people that owned restaurant”

“We love this restaurant! So glad to see that the reopened the Sugar House location. We chose to sit at the bar. Compared to other Tsunami locations it is just kinda blah. However, the Chef's were personable and fun.”

“Great atmosphere, delicious crapes and beautiful presentation, loved it”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Incredible variety and delicious treats!
85°C Bakery Cafe is an absolute gem! They have a huge selection of mouthwatering pastries, beautifully crafted cakes, fresh breads, flavorful coffees, refreshing smoothies, and so much more. Every item I’ve tried has been fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care.

Whether you’re in the mood for something sweet, savory, or a perfectly balanced drink, 85°C never disappoints. The quality is consistently top-notch, and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. It’s easy to see why this place is always busy — this should be one of your go-to spots for a quick treat or a special dessert. Highly recommend to anyone who loves baked goods and great drinks!”

“A great restaurant open since 2019. The owner is from Korea and is very passionate about his food which is all delicious. Definitely order the Bibimbap! It's #6 on the menu. It's a stone bowl which is very hot in Cooks the food right in there and they serve the whole thing in the bowl.”

“Delicious light lunch at a nice eatery in the Chinatown mall. Courteous and attentive staff. The chicken skewers were tasty and had a sweet chili sauce that was supposed to be medium spicy(but wasn't, however l liked it anyway) the salads were flavorful and fresh. The pickled cucumbers were sweet and refreshing and made a great accompaniment to the rice. Ill definitely return to try other offerings. Check it out!”

“Probably one of the best chai lattes I’ve ever had in my life!”

“There is no better falafel in Salt Lake. Pita House makes their own bread. Also the lahmajhun is excellent, on house-made flatbread. The complimentary tea is delicious.

Vegetarian options: Falafel, Fuul, Zaatar”

“Bjorns is a standout destination for me, thanks to their exceptional matcha sourced from tea Zaanti. I consistently ask for my matcha with 4 extra scoops. Moreover, their coffee is outstanding, and their protein shakes are top-notch. The service is remarkably efficient and welcoming.”

“Awesome food and the owners are great!”

“Their kimbap is my favorite! I haven’t tried a lot of the food they offer but their tteokbokki is pretty good, as well as their kimchi fried rice, although I do wish the pieces of ham were slightly bigger. Great place to go to if you are looking for Korean side dishes or food to go”

“Stopped by for a afternoon snack, and loved it. While the sweet items looked amazing, we were looking for something a little more savory and picked the spinach and cheese, chicken schwarma, and beef pie. All 3 were delicious with the spinach one being my GF's favorite and the beef one with tomato sauce being mine. I really liked all the flavors and enjoyed how soft and flaky the pasta was. Oh the staff was great too as she was able to heat it up right there for us to enjoy!
We will definitely be back!”

“Very friendly and welcoming, and great service.”

“Wonderful establishment! Friendly Staff and awesome food! Even a nightly stop for a Baggett on you way home makes your home meal perfect! The pastries are to die for!”

“service is great and costumer service”

“Great place! The real deal 👍”

“Good food and good folks, it's a taco stand in a parking lot, and with their setup it's the best one you could imagine. Large selection of drinks, menu items, & toppings, you won't regret ordering the sopa and loading it up!”

“Their vegetarian options were PHENOMENAL. I got the mushrooms with honey garlic sauce and the cauliflower with sweet soy sauce and I was blown away with every bite, they were so yummy. The mushrooms especially were insanely good. The coworkers I came with kept joking that they would become vegetarian too if it just meant eating dishes like that. They also really enjoyed their chicken. There were also several other vegetarian options, which is very nice.
The girl who took our order was very friendly and patient, and was happy to give us some great recommendations. The staff were very attentive in checking in with us to see if we needed anything, keeping the dining area clean, and even moving tables and chairs around for customers.
They were playing k-pop just loud enough that you could hear and enjoy it under conversation, but it wasn’t too loud, which I appreciated.
I’ve already told my whole family about this place and I will absolutely be coming back! I was very impressed with the quality of food and service here.”

“great food! good service. love having it so close by to where I am!”

“Such a great experience from initial contact through eating the cake and cake pops. The cake turned out perfectly and was so delicious. The cake pops were loved by everyone! Shelby was great to work with, and put up with many mind changes and design questions with such grace. Our now 3 year old was so happy with everything and gave us many “oooh yummy” statements. We will surely be back!”

“la comida estaba muy rica , jamás había probado los currys y mi experiencia fue lo máximo y el.mesero explicó nos atendió de maravilla”

“Ate there today. Very yummy and friendly staff”

“Good food. Everything seems fresh. A bit salty and wish it was served at a hotter temperature. The portion was big and they gave me lots of shrimp. It was delicious and definitely big enough to share. I also tried the arepita de yuca, it was brought out hit and crispy. It had a nice sweetness to it. I want to go back and try something else. Service was great. Clean and plenty of seating and other options of food to choose from.”

“I took my daughter out to a treat at her favorite place for some boba and she ended up getting frustrated because the drink lid wasn't sealed, making it hard for her to mix it. One employee noticed her struggle and immediately made her a new drink, an extra free one for me and gave her a promotional gift card without hesitation. It's the small acts of kindness that go a long way and I really appreciate the hard working amazing crew on staff today.”

“Best tteokbokki I ever had in Utah! Great addition to Chinatown area! Affordable price for big portion! What I love about their rice cake is that it doesn’t harden even when I took it home. Really good variety of flavor, spicy level, and side dishes! My favorite is the rose tteokbokki with giant rice cake adding cheese on top! Pair it with fish cake soup, fried dumplings, or fried seaweed rolls!
Only cons is how small and limited seats are at the place.”

“muy ricos y excelente atención, gracias Brillyth, súper recomendadisimo.”

“Chicken tacos were very good 5/5. El pastor was 4/5. Sauces were good. Nice place. I would only have one suggestion for us non native costumers…and that would be to have full meals instead of ordering each item separately. That’s why I could just order tacos with beans and rice and the only choice would be what meat I want. Good food though.”

“I have eaten at a lot of taco stands and Roxy always stands out. The Tortas she makes are amazing, huge and so very tasty. And when I'm broke I don't klnow where else i can head for a couple dollar tacos and come out full in the end. The choice of meats here allows you to eat several times a week without getting that burnt out feeling. Her Queasadillas are huge and so very good. If you haven't eaten here DO IT!”

“Can't even tell they're GF!! The entire time I ate the Chewy Chocolate Brownie Bites, I just kept saying, "wow" ❤️”

“Took a group of friends to eat here. I had heard that they were seed oil free and gluten free. The food was amazing. Service was perfect and atmosphere was clean and fun”

“Awesome authentic New York Pizza 🍕”

“Don't even get me started on this place...best burger in town. Every time I visit Utah I have to stop in for their scrumptious burgers. If you care about your taste buds you'll stop in!!!!”

“Great food and plenty of it we are from out of town stopped in not knowing how it would be and I know we will eat there over any bbq place in the salt lake area it was some of the best. I had ribs and brisket my wife had pulled pork and chicken it was all fantastic and the house bbq sauce awesome”

“Kabob Stop for a spicy twist on a burger. I went with medium and it was perfect 🔥”

“My boyfriend and I come here every week, sometimes twice a week. It's a very friendly atmosphere and the server is wonderful! The food is also delicious and always hits the spot. We plan on trying more of the menu, but the ramen will always be something we order. You get a very good portion for what you pay for. This place will be on our top 3 places to eat out when we do.”

“Me and my Family had carne azada nachos, Tacos al Pastor, Carne Azada Quesadilla and tacos de Carne Azada everything was Delicious 🤤! I woke up CRAVING a Carne AZADA Taco! Too bad they are closed today. Everything was 🤤🤤🔥🔥🔥🔥Delightful sooo BOMB! The Carne azada nachos took me back to my childhood in 805Cali! Tacos El Fino thaaaank yooou so much for the Best TACOS in TOWN and outstanding Service! This is the Real DEAL P.s Salsas were on point!”

“Great staff! Ordered the Veggie Delight for take out and was ready in 5 minutes! Quality cooking instructions and endless topping opportunities. Definitely worth baking at home.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian Delight is delicious and will make you want to order again and again.”

“Great cheap food. I love this truck. I hit it once or twice a week for lunch. I always ask what is good today. And then just go with recommendation. Quesadillas are one of my favorites. Tacos are great for a light lunch.”

“Great prices, great dawgz 👍🏻”

“This Georgia girl approves! The brisket tacos are amazing! Love his sauces too!”

“Nice option for weekday fast lunch

Parking: Super easy and tons of space

Kid-friendliness: Super nice people

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“I have experienced the food from Salt City on several occasions and I love their food. I particularly love the nachos. Don’t miss out .”

“Amazing karaoke with the best host!! Love providing entertainment! Kevan always maintains a great karaoke vibe!”

“If you are a mole lover, be prepared to fall in love with La Oaxaqueña.

I have family from Oaxaca and go years without seeing them, but having an order of enmoladas brings me so much homey comfort.

La Oaxaqueña is vibrant, consistent, and authentic; nothing but true to the Oaxaqueño culture.

I've had the mole, pupusas, and the tlayuda and enjoyed each of them.

I do ask for the enmoladas to be filled with beans instead of chicken for a vegetarian option. They also used chicken that had bone in the first few times I ordered them, and was a bit put off; the bean substitution keeps me satisfied without the bone digging.

My only real complaint with La Oaxaqueña is the restroom - it is clearly an afterthought. If I'm washing my hands before a meal, I'd like to believe the bathroom is as clean as the rest of the establishment; right now, it's not something I'd want to be eating out of. 🥲”

“best food ever, mouth watering meat”

“This is hands down the best Chinese food in Utah. I ate here for the first time a couple of weeks ago and have been back almost every day since. It's that good”

“Food was amazing, salad was a good portion for small size, pizza was on point, hot and cooked perfectly, and hot wings were ok…would have preferred having the hot wings first before the pizza. Still all was yummy. The guy who took our order was super awesome.”

“Wanted some tahini to make hummus for a party and also some authentic pita bread. Googled med market near me so stopped in. Found the tahini and then Walked around the store for a sec and a gentleman asked what I needed. I told him pita and he went in the back and brought out fresh warm fluffy pita! Delicious! Nothing like the grocery store stuff. After reading the other comments sounds like I need to return for some baklava!”

“Long Life Vegi House has resurrected and we couldn’t be happier. Paired with T.F. Brewing’s most recent limited release. This place is magic!”

“Refreshing Pho with tender rib eye hit the spot after a day of driving.”

“Hidden Gem. I recommend the Vegas Roll, 10/10.”

“Awesome and yummy!! Whatever you do, get the hand pulled noodles. They are the best.”

“We made a reservation, so we didnt have a wait i am not sure how the wait is without a reservation. The food was amazing and the service fantastic. Our waitress had that perfect balance of checking in enough but not too much. Great sushi!”

“The best place in town for Pho.”

“Absolutely love this place. I go here daily! They have some of the best employees and usually have my coffee order down right when they see my car pull up. They rock!”

“Rico y abundante definitivamente muy recomendable”

“We got the cup of fruit tea and the mango orange green tea. Both were pretty good. Btw I asked if they use real fruit or syrup in their smoothies and beware because they said syrup. I’m assuming the same goes for their teas (most tea places use syrup to flavor their teas so it’s not necessarily a bad thing). Bathroom was also very clean. Overall good tea place. I found it a bit off that they were playing rock music at a tea place. I would prefer some kpop or cafe music. But the music is not a dealbreaker for me.”

“Lovely restaurant with very friendly staff. Came here with friends who recommended it after saying it was the best Korean food they had found in Salt Lake. I tried their recommendations for the lunch combo, the Beef Buligogi and the Soondubu Chigae. A great deal for the the variety of food you get. I’m probably a bad judge for this style of food but it was good and everyone enjoyed their meal. The metal cups and chop sticks were cool though!”

“😁good and yummy place to eat, I have been here more than once in fact several time and is one of my favorite place to eat. The anytime special is fantastic for the price. I recommend this place.”

“Good service and yummy food!!. 🙏🙏”

“A lot of variety of authentic Mexican food. Anywhere from caldos, meats, and home made tortillas.”

“Best pizza in utah”

“usually really great but tonight i ordered online to “beat the rush” like they advertise and then got to watch 4 large groups order AFTER i walked in and told them i was waiting for a mobile order get their food before mine. and guess the reason? because mine was a mobile order!!!! make it make sense 🤣 it’s all the same food why not just make mine first since i’ve been there physically before everyone else but hey whatever

EDIT: still peeved about the situation but adding a few stars bc they hooked it up thanks canes”

“Good Mexican food with huge portions! One of the few Mexican restaurants that actually give you real carne asada instead of cubes beef. It was cooked hot and quickly, just like it should be. Will definitely be coming back.”
